I think it’s absolutely awesome that Bobby Holik is now a member of NHL On the Fly on the NHL Network. Watching him last night for the first time, he made Larry Murphy look like he played in the Stone Age. Everything he said was in relation to the current landscape of the NHL and made perfect sense. I completely forgot that he had an accent after listening to him for about five seconds.

According to people with more knowledge than me, a jar of jam was broken on the Devils’ locker room walls when Lou Lamoriello broke into his team’s room after their Game 4 loss on Tuesday. The team has lacked pretty much everything since acquiring Ilya Kovalchuk. He completely disengages the style that has made the New Jersey Devils so successful over the past decade and a half.

In this series, they have only scored three even strength goals in the first four games! Tonight is no different, missing on two powerplay opportunities in the first period. You would think that with no Gagne or Carter in the Flyers’ lineup, the Devils would be able to overcome their season long woes with Philly….but it’s now 2-0 Philly with over half the game played.

I know Lou has a history of firing coaches at weird times during the season, but I’ll bet he is wishing he could fire Jacques Lemaire mid-game tonight.
